Updating a previous item, Klay Thompson's (personal) status for Sunday is unknown.
Thompson's grandfather passed away at the age of 94 in the Bahamas. Klay is traveling for the funeral and will not play on Friday against the Cavs, leaving the Warriors without one of the Splash Brothers. Given that Cleveland starts Jarrett Jack at the off guard spot, we wouldn't be surprised to see Steve Blake draw the start next to Steph Curry. Mar 14 - 8:42 AM

Klay Thompson - G - Warriors

Klay Thompson scored 26 points on 10-of-19 shooting (including four threes) with one rebound and one steal in Wednesday's loss to the Clippers, and he will miss Friday's game against the Cavs due to a death in the family.

Thompson will get on a plane to the Bahamas but be back in time for Sunday's game against the Blazers. Depending on how the Warriors choose to approach things Steve Blake (zero points, 11 minutes), Draymond Green (10 points, three boards, three assists, one steal, one block, one three, 22 minutes) or even Jordan Crawford (11 minutes, 0-for-5 FGs) could be the beneficiary of the one-game absence with Green looking like the best bet until we know what Mark Jackson will do.

Klay Thompson - G - Warriors

Klay Thompson will play Wednesday's game against the Clippers with a heavy heart after the passing of his grandfather and will miss Friday's game against the Cavs.

Thompson is flying to the Bahamas for the funeral and he will return in time for Sunday's game against the Blazers. Steve Blake, Jordan Crawford and Draymond Green will make for interesting, albeit risky spot plays on Friday.

Klay Thompson - G - Warriors

Klay Thompson (back) played 35 minutes vs. the Suns and finished with 22 points, four rebounds, two assists and one block.

Thompson was efficient, too, making 9-of-15 field goals including four 3-pointers. He was limited over the past few days as a precaution but it doesn't seem as though he's in danger of missing any time. That's great news for a Warriors team about to play three games in four days beginning with Tuesday's home game vs. Dallas.

Klay Thompson - G - Warriors

Klay Thompson (back) is ready to go vs. Phoenix on Sunday, as expected.

Thompson was limited during Friday's blowout as a precaution, but owners can keep him locked into active lineups against a Suns team which has allowed their opponents to shoot 42.6 percent from downtown over the past five games.
Mar 9 - 7:35 PM
Klay Thompson - G - Warriors

Coach Mark Jackson said that he expects Klay Thompson (back) to play on Sunday against the Suns.

The Warriors said that Thompson was held out of the second half of Friday's blowout for precautionary reasons and owners can use him like they normally would more or less.

Klay Thompson - G - Warriors

Klay Thompson (lower back strain) will not return to Friday's game.

The team is saying it's a precaution to hold him out, but it certainly didn't look like it. Thompson could barely even make it to the locker room without pain and was hunched over in the tunnel before finally make it back there. He has not missed a game in his career, but he might need to sit out on Sunday vs. the Suns. Harrison Barnes and Jordan Crawford would get more playing time sans Klay.

Klay Thompson - G - Warriors

Klay Thompson (lower back strain) went to the locker room after a nasty spill on Friday night and is questionable to return.

He's normally very durable and was escorted to the locker room with the team's trainer. Thompson doesn't have a history of back injuries and we'll be looking for an update during or after the game.

Klay Thompson - G - Warriors

Klay Thompson hit 7-of-15 shots but just 1-of-8 3-pointers for 18 points, three assists and three steals in Wednesday's cake walk over the Celtics.

Despite the 3-point shooting tonight, Thompson appears to have broken out of a slump in his last two games, where he's hit 17-of-35 shots. He's scored in double figures in four straight games and appears to be on track for a strong finish to the season.

Klay Thompson - G - Warriors

Klay Thompson hit a fadeaway jumper over George Hill during Tuesday's 98-96 win over the Pacers, scoring a team-high 25 points with five boards, two assists, one block and three 3-pointers in 41 minutes.

He shot 7-of-15 from inside the arc and 3-of-5 from deep, so it was a little unusual to see Klay get so involved on scoring on his own -- especially against a great defense. His 3-point shot looks like it's coming back over his last five, making 48.3 percent from downtown on his way to averages of 17.8 points, 3.2 boards, 1.2 assists, 0.6 steals and 2.8 triples. His slump looks to be over.

Klay Thompson - G - Warriors

Klay Thompson missed nine of his 15 field goals vs. the Raptors on Sunday to finish with 12 points, two 3-pointers and three rebounds in 27 minutes.

His playing time may have been limited due to foul trouble, but the shaky shooting has become a somewhat familiar sight -- Klay shot just 38.4 percent in January and he averaged just 14.7 points on 43.4 percent shooting in February. He's had a few single-digit scoring duds in the past week and hasn't topped 30 minutes in any of the Warriors' past five games, but all his owners can do is plug him in and hope he turns things around. It helps that Golden State plays four games in each of the next two weeks.

Klay Thompson - G - Warriors

Klay Thompson shot 9-of-17 from the field for 25 points with three boards, one assist, one steal and five 3-pointers in 29 minutes against the Knicks on Friday.

It's taken a very long while, but Klay's shot is back. Over his last three games, he's shot a total of 9-of-17 from deep and he's been able to get his season 3-point shooting back up to 41 percent. Hopefully, his two-month slump is over and he'll finish strong in the second half.

Klay Thompson - G - Warriors

Klay Thompson did not make any 3-pointers during Thursday's win over the Rockets, finishing with 12 points, three boards, one assist and two steals on 6-of-18 from the field.

Klay is taking a few less shots these days with just 13.3 shot per game in his six previous games, which is below his season average of 15.7. He's also been somewhat quiet in that span, averaging 15.3 points, 3.2 boards, 1.2 steals and 1.8 triples. There's still nothing to worry about and the threes should start dropping at over 2.0 per game in due time.

Klay Thompson - G - Warriors

Klay Thompson hit 6-of-14 shots for 18 points, four rebounds, five assists, three steals, a block and a 3-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Kings.

This was one of Thompson's most well-rounded lines in recent memory and the hope is that he's about to get hot. Of course, Stephen Curry struggled in this one, leaving Thompson to shoulder more of the load tonight. The Warriors go again on Thursday night against the Rockets.
Feb 20 - 2:42 AM
Klay Thompson - G - Warriors

Klay Thompson is getting some advice from Stephen Curry to help him through his shooting slump.

Thompson has seen his field goal percentage drop each month this season and finished with a 38.4 percent field goal percentage in January. "I just remind him that it's his third year, and he's played a lot of minutes and added obviously some responsibilities on both sides of the floor just to make sure he understands you're going to get heavy-legged a couple times throughout the season," Stephen Curry said. Despite his shooting struggles as of late, Thompson is still one of the better fantasy assets in the 3-pointer category and can hopefully use his Splash Brother's words of wisdom to spark a turnaround.
